How Do You Spell DOMINEER?

Pronunciation: [dˌɒmɪnˈi͡ə] (IPA)

The word "domineer" is often misspelled due to its peculiar pronunciation. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /ˌdɒmɪˈnɪə/, which shows that the second syllable has a long "i" sound (as in the word "eye") instead of a short "e" sound (as in the word "egg"). This can cause confusion and lead to spellings such as "domaneer" or "domineir". To avoid this mistake, it's important to remember the correct pronunciation of the word and its spelling.

DOMINEER Meaning and Definition

  1. Domineer is a verb that refers to the act of exercising excessive control or authority over others in a bossy or oppressive manner. When someone domineers, they assert their power over others with an overbearing and dictatorial attitude, often disregarding the opinions, desires, or rights of those they are dominating. This behavior is typically characterized by a display of arrogance, haughtiness, and a marked lack of empathy.

    Domineering individuals tend to impose their will on others and use intimidation or force to get their way. They may consistently seek to manipulate situations, people, or circumstances to ensure they remain in control and exert their influence. This control can manifest in various settings, such as a workplace, family, or social group, and the domineering person often holds a position of authority or power.

    The domineering behavior can have detrimental effects on the individuals subjected to it, creating an atmosphere of fear, oppression, and resentment. It stifles the autonomy and individuality of others, limiting their ability to express themselves freely or make choices according to their own desires. Domineering individuals may use their power to manipulate the opinions of others, exploit their vulnerabilities, or coerce them into compliance.

    While asserting authority or leading others is not inherently negative, domineering crosses the line into oppressive behavior. It signifies an imbalance of power, where one individual dominates and controls others for their own benefit or personal satisfaction, disregarding the well-being and autonomy of those affected.

  2. To tyrannise over; to rule over with insolence; to use authority oppressively.
